Feelings are messy- life is messy

Feelings are messy and life is messy. We spend a lot of time waiting to be perfect, or for our situation to be perfect before we act on doing something different for ourselves. We rationalize. We minimize. 

 We hold these lovely conversations in our heads: “When I lose weight I’ll look for a boyfriend.”  “I need to have a perfect resume before I look for a job.” “My kid is doing well in school; a little drug experimentation is normal. I’ll talk with someone if it becomes a problem.” “I don’t have money, time…”

 There is a lot of information out there about relationships, our emotions, and parenting.  It can be both supportive and overwhelming. Messy Life is about not waiting until all the pieces are in place and things are perfect before we act. This blog will explore balancing our need for immediate gratification and our equal drive for procrastination, or any other messy life thing that occurs to me.
